Just curious. :) Most of my games are from Steam, so personally i never cared about collecting boxed games. How about you? do you care how your game is coming? [in box/ from the net], and tell us why !

I go to the trouble of throwing out boxes. Also, f*ck cd-checks. Digital downloads allow me the convenience of not having to get a no-cd crack.

Yeah, this is my main reason also for buying digital. I think that boxes just need a lot of space and im not really reading the manuals... well, i have few boxed games, and they just lying on the shelf collecting dust.... :\ Actually i though of collecting boxed games, but if im collecting i want it to be special, so i wanted to get all the limited edition boxes, but science i didnt found almost anything, i prefered not to collect at all.

The only times I buy via download are:

if the game is no longer available boxed,

was/is never available boxed,

is an online-only game I can't lend or sell (might not be worth playing in a few years),

or is a ridiculously low priced game I wasn't really sure about.

their has been a thread already made about this... well anyway.. personally i like the boxes but their getting worse and worse. Ill get boxes for oblivion starcraft and diablo but not css or l4d, i usually only buy boxes if they have a nice manual. Multiplayer games i like getting digitally because i can download them for all of my comps, but old games i always buy for collectibility (doom, wofistein, fallout etc)

I absolutely love collecting boxed games. Even these days when they're just in a DVD case. Some games like Mount & Blade/Elven Legacy etc. still include a larger than normal DVD case, a decent sized manual and even a map/poster!

I own over 100 PC games in those old school big boxes. :oops: Sure, they're wasting space but there's just something about them that I really like.

Boxed games are a waste of space, and cannot be played away from home without pushing legality to its limits. I'm also too lazy to keep all the disks in their boxes, leading to the impending doom of scratches and disk reading errors.
